Wheelabrator prides itself on being the only blast machine manufacturer in the world that is capable of designing and manufacturing hybrid peening systems in-house.

Wheelabrator Hybrid Peening Systems are designed keeping in mind the exacting standards and specifications of the Aerospace and Automotive industries.

Hybrid systems gain prominence wherever there is a requirement to clean/peen large production volumes of parts. The centrifugal wheelblast technique has traditionally been known to cater to mass finishing of parts. Wheelabrator has taken advantage of this technique to process majority of the part area using single or multiple blast wheels.

In its unique position, Wheelabrator recognizes the limitations of the centrifugal wheelblast technique in certain applications. This gave birth to hybrid systems where a dedicated blast nozzle mounted on a manipulator targets specific areas that were not possible to be accessed by the blast wheel. Nozzle manipulation, using externally mounted manipulators ensures adequate blast coverage to inaccessible areas.

Wheelabrator’s intuitive and ‘easy to use’ controls ensure process repeatability and consistency of results.

The Wheelabrator Hybrid Peening System is completely tested and proven out at our manufacturing facility to ensure a ‘plug-and-play’ system when it arrives at your plant.
